a stamped card and details on the online scrapbooking weekend
Three things today:
A. Today is the ninth. That means tomorrow is the tenth. And we do 10 Things on the tenth. (I say we because you’re totally invited to join in the fun.)
2. I am totally in love with this woodgrain stamp from American Crafts stamped in vintage photo distress ink on kraft cardstock. I love it. I made this card with it, but also one of the challenge layouts for this weekend.
D. This weekend is the online crop! It’s totally free and you’re invited to take part with your own stash and choose any and all challenges you would like to enter.
Want to know a little more?
There are ten formal challenges, each with an amazing sponsor donating a prize. That means you can win fabulous stuff from the likes of Jenni Bowlin Studio, American Crafts, Studio Calico, Lily Bee, Cosmo Cricket, BasicGrey, Pink Paislee and more! Each of these requires participating in a layout challenge to enter and win. (By the way, those links all go to their Facebook pages. Go click the like button for all your favourites!)
There are three comment-to-win giveaways with a variety of prizes. Each has its own rules, but they are all just a comment for an entry – no crafting required.
There are also mini-lessons with crafting techniques, photography tips and journaling prompts. Some may have prizes, some not. I’m not telling just yet.
There are some special offers for shopping available only during the weekend. Again… not telling just yet.
Everyone is welcome to participate – you can be just starting to scrap or scrapping for ages, paper or digital, single page or double. It’s all in good fun. The posts run Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but you will have more time than that to complete the challenges so it doesn’t need to be a mad dash to the finish line.
Oh, and one other thing. I have $100 to give away. $100 scrapbooking shopping spree to Two Peas in a Bucket, which sounds pretty fun to me. One person will win that to spend on whatever she wants in the Two Peas store. You know, just a choice of more than 12,000 things. But you’ll have to turn up Friday to find out how you can win the $100 gift certificate, okay?
But seriously? I can’t wait to scrapbook with you all weekend long!

The anticipation mounts. This will be my first time, but I can’t wait!
9 August 2011, 22:49
Yay!! I will actually be home and able to participate this weekend!
As an aside- I know we can substitute products, etc, but I just LOVE it when someone posts a project that I like AND that I already have all the same supplies for. Sometimes that’s just fun…and I happen to have that stamp and that ink and kraft cardstock, so I’ll definitely be giving this a try!

So timely, Shimelle, I have so gotten out of the way of scrapbooking and was just planning to do something about it – your weekend sounds ideal so hoping to join in. Elizabeth

I love that woodgrain stamp too. It is on my list of needs. Excited about the weekend and hope to squeeze in some scrap time. I need a push to get going again, and this might be it.
11 August 2011, 19:40

What great timing, It’s me and my DD at home this weekend, I was going to spend today sorting out some projects to entertain her with, now I don’t have to. Thanks Shimelle, off to do a bit of DHW then I will be sorted.
12 August 2011, 03:49
The weekend sounds fun unfortunately it’s a bit hectic for me this weekend. I will try to check in as I’ve completely lost my mojo lately with scrapping and have been concentrating on card making.
12 August 2011, 05:27
altough i am working, looking forward to a challenge. so i will check in daily and most likely finish projects during the week. might just surprise myself and finish it on “time”.
12 August 2011, 06:37
